Update: Oktoberfest Happy Hour

Update: Oktoberfest Happy Hour

by

Cicerone Tony Schmitt is doing our Oktoberfest Happy Hour program. Kurt Purvis was unable to attend due to a family situation and put me in contact with Tony.

I think everyone will be well-pleased with Tony! His impressive credentials include: Certified Cicerone, Instructor at Brewing & Distilling Center, Knoxville, Educational Consultant, former Director of Training for The Casual Pint Franchise, BJCP Certified Beer Judge and Board Member of the Tennessee Winter Beer Fest.

If you’re into beer, this is your Happy Hour! We are excited to welcome Tony and learn more about the German beers we will be sampling. Mark your calendars to join us as we top off the last Happy Hour of 2025!

LHHA Board meeting last night

by

Neighbors,

The LHHA board met last night to discuss the concerns and impact of AdvanceKnox and UDO. A new committee was convened and charged with developing a clear summary of what these changes mean, timelines, how you are affected, what steps you can take, and how you can get involved and help.

As a board, we are committed to keeping you informed with accurate and timely information and updates.

This item will be on the November 18th HOA general meeting agenda. We are working to secure a speaker to make a presentation and address questions from residents.

The committee will have an update within 10 days.

Respectfully,

Dawn A. Thomas
LHHA President

Neighborhood Impacted by New Land Use Plan

by

Knox Planning (Advanceknox.org) has undergone a multi-year effort to develop a Growth Policy Plan for the future of Knox County. This plan addresses zoning, land use, transportation, and other issues. The process has completed and adopted through the 2nd of 3 phases, which dramatically changes the designated land use of our neighborhood. Please look at the drawing attached to this post and follow the link to get more information about the descriptions of these new land uses. TN – Traditional Neighborhood (pg. 30), SR-Suburban Residential (pg. 33) & SMR-Suburban Mixed Residential (pg. 34). https://advanceknox.org/resources/final%20plan/Knox%20County%20Comprehensive%20Land%20Use%20and%20Transportation%20Plan.pdf. For those in the neighborhood that have concerns about how these changes impact Lakemoor Hills, our County Commissioner has offered to assist us to help update the plan. He stated, “I need broad support from the community to begin this update.” More information will follow about how you can respond and get involved.
